Plan to join us for the Workshop? Here is how to prepare for the FAFSA Workshop:
*Please make sure both the contributing parent and the student have each created their own FAFSA ID Account. If you have not done so yet please go to this link for more information on how to set up the account. This needs to be done a week before the FAFSA Workshop in case there are errors or issues that can be fixed.
*Please click on this link to know what to bring to the FAFSA Workshop to be prepared. Not having this information will delay the submission.
*Please make sure the senior brings a charged laptop to this event.
FAFSA Resources
Why fill out the FAFSA? Depending on parent/student income, the student may qualify for federal grants and loans. Most colleges and some scholarships require/highly recommend you fill out the FAFSA each year a student attends college.

She has taken on leadership roles in FFA and StuCo on top of multiple extracurriculars, like track and high school rodeo while balancing and staying on top of her schoolwork. She is a great role model for all in our school!
